Allergies

An allergy is a hypersensitivity immune response to normally harmless substances, such as pollens or foods. For most people, these substances—also called allergens—pose no problem. In allergic individuals, however, the immune system identifies them as a threat and produces an inappropriate (i.e., abnormal) response.1 Hundreds of ordinary substances may trigger an allergic reaction.

When someone is exposed to an allergen and he or she becomes sensitized, the body then produces antibodies called Immunoglobulin E. The next time the person encounters the same allergen, antibodies and causes the mast cell to release histamine and other chemicals. This reaction causes inflammation and triggers allergy symptoms that can range from mild to severe, affecting the skin, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, and/or respiratory tract.

• Sneezing

• Watery eyes

• Runny nose
